Members of The Society’s Council of Bishops and officers and trustees from national Anglo-Catholic charities met recently to discuss how best those charities can serve the catholic movement in the Church of England. There was a wide-ranging and productive discussion focusing on the opportunities for closer working between the charities, under a vision set out by the Council of Bishops. In the light of the limited resources available to the charities, those present agreed on the importance of setting strategic priorities within Sees and across the movement. The group agreed to meet again in early 2026.
